Fitting 52mm TB to an F

Have just bought a new 52mm TB for my '99 F.
Presume it's just a straight swop, but do I have to do anything else eg. the sensor?

It takes about an hour if you go in engine cover way but it's still dooable through vent but fiddley!!

There's a how to on here with the reset procedure for the TPS cos it'll be wild on the tick over!!!

Good luck :broon:

Are you replacing the plastic 48mm throttle body if so let me know if you think it is worth it as kep thinking about getting one myself :beer:

No real bhp gain but the engine becomes very responsive to throttle movement in comparison to the 48mm, we'll worth doing I thought!

It's the noise it makes that makes ti worth doing!!!

If you swap your old throttle position sensor onto your new throttle body, you should have no need to do any setup, it should run normally from th start.

might not be the case as the TPS looks at the position of the throttle its attached to

"Compare and contrast: the original black plastic ‘SU’ 48mm throttle body (right) next to the replacement ‘Dellorto’ 52mm throttle body (left).
A sensible step at this stage is to remove the throttle position sensor from the old throttle body and replace it for the one on the new throttle body (it is held on by just a couple of small bolts). Doing this avoids the need to visit a specialist with Rover's Testbook to reset MEMS calibration for the new sensor."

No specialists are needed its just a few pushes of the throttle pedal lol

Switch ignition to position 2, fully depress and release the gas peddle five times within thirty seconds, wait for the stepper to stop adjusting, start engine, throttle position sensor is reset, takes longer to type than to do.

hope you got this done now?
what you think?
i agree it feels extra responsive compared to my old 48mm
